About Kimberly
Kimberly Lincoln uses a client-centered approach to guide people through difficult moments. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and mood concerns. Kimberly is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eleven years of experience and works from North Carolina as an LMHC and LCMHC.
She spent much of her career supporting people connected to the child welfare system and those navigating adoption and foster care issues.
How Kimberly works
She has also worked with survivors of childhood sexual trauma and with members of the LGBT community. Her background includes helping people manage codependency, addiction, and intense emotional reactions that get in the way of daily life. In session she focuses on the person in front of her and what they need right now.
That can mean working on long-term goals but also addressing urgent stressors that interfere with progress. Practical skills from CBT and DBT are blended with motivational interviewing to boost commitment and coping. Kimberly aims to help clients feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy.
She uses evidence-based strategies for mood, trauma, and relationship work while adapting pace and focus to each person. Her style is direct, compassionate, and goal-oriented. She offers a mix of short-term tools and longer-term support to restore balance.
People who want clear strategies for managing emotions, improving communication, or recovering from trauma may find her approach helpful.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's needs and values at the center of each session, so online meetings focus on listening, validation, and working at a comfortable pace. This approach helps people who need a steady, empathetic space to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions this can mean using worksheets, thought records, and action plans that clients practice between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online DBT sessions often include teaching breathing and grounding exercises, emotion regulation strategies, and step-by-step communication tools that can be used during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, challenges, and preferences, and she will adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive tools, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing reminders and brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a real-life schedule.
